I'm pretty sure Mr. Torrence has always been the caretaker, sir.

I think there can be a few decent examples, but like abstract expressionism or experimental film I tend to hold the forms in low regard because of the ease with which they are co-opted by hack artists who lack both vision and mastery of craft to truly wield the form. Too many installation pieces just reek of…

I propose an award to most forgotten actors to have won major awards consideration. It could be called the Glenda Jackson Prize.

Damn, you beat me to my own prognostication. But seriously, Lohan would stand no chance in a fight with Blanchett.

That wouldn't be much of a fight. I imagine Galadriel would cold cock Lohan pretty quick with a right upper cut.

Sundance isn't for celebrities…it's for indies made by celebrities starring their celebrity friends

"The Goodbye Girl" also stars one of the most forgettable actresses ever to win four Academy Award nominations….

Unless Guy Ritchie were to helm, then all would suck…

Oh yes. I'm all for that. In fact, some of my favorite reads have been ones where people argue against accepted classics.

On a related note, I would LOVE to see a similar feature, whereby filmmakers talk about classic or otherwise well-regarded films that they utterly loathe.

Which is why I've been saying we need to have ten females to every male….

Very true. If Japan's gambit had succeeded, if they hadn't botched Pearl Harbor from a strategic perspective, the Yamato would've had great utility. But after Midway the ship was unfortunately obsolete, despite being an astonishing bit of naval architecture and design.

Well battleships on the American side made a little more sense because of their ability to soften targets prior to invasion. There was no such utility on the Japanese side because there were no targets to soften up. So the battleship was useful, but the time when battleships engaged one another was well passed I…

Yeah, whatever happened to those? Back in the early days they used to give special Oscars all the time…to Chaplin at the first ceremony for his work on "The Circus," and to Disney for creating Mickey Mouse.

Fuck "Blame Canada" for being nominated instead of "Uncle Fucka."

I can't wait to see this film. If Linklater doesn't win a Best Director nom from the Academy for this project in the coming season, I will take to these forums and vent my frustrations through the therapy of words!

All I can say to that is…word.

Yeah, I'm waiting for a movie to top the amount of skin Jane showed in "Tarzan and His Mate." Pretty mind blowing what they got away with before those ass clowns Breen and Hays ruined everything.

There's goes my dreams of seeing Jessica Brown-Findlay in a leopard skin top and loincloth…

True, but even those greats like Akira had limitations in terms of the canvas. They were working within a physical realm, where only so much could be done in a limited time frame, and they did marvelous things within those constraints. Now the dam has broken and there are no limits, and as a result there are being…
